Took shoes out to the car for him to try on after purchasing and they were too small. Took them back in immediately and they refused to return or do in store credit. The two ladies made excuses that the owner was home sick. Now we know why they are selling what a crooked place. Looked forward to swinging into this store every-time we were in town on business or with friends and family not anymore. As business owners ourselves this is not a way to do business!!!!

I made a mistake in my order ( ordered 2 lids instead of 3) and emailed them right away. Not only did they respond quickly, they corrected my mistake, then sent out the order that same day. I am really happy with the product and the customer service. I look forward to ordering from them again!!!

This store has two distinct halves- a touristy gift shoppe and a candy shoppe. I only explored the…read morecandy shoppe. Although nothing is made in house, they have a lot of old-fashioned favorites, weird and unusual favorites and hard to find treats. Some items are sold by the pound and others are individually prices. I bought a few hard to find old fashioned favorites for my husband and a small sample of bizarre salt water flavors like curried coconut, POG, pumpkin pie, chili mango, honey lavender and egg not. The gentleman behind the counter was very nice and I enjoyed our convo; I'll stop just for that reason alone. Definitely recommend.

I was walking down the street in Seward when I came across the Russian Store. It's not the kind of…read morestore I'd expect and some of the stuff in the window looked interesting so I stepped inside. This store was really cool. They had a lot of Russian stuff, but also some Alaskan stuff too. As for the Russian stuff, they had Soviet era hats and pins, propaganda posters, Russian lacquer boxes, Russian stacking dolls, and stuff like that. They also had carvings which I found interesting. It's an interesting store and is worth a stop.

They sold us items that ended up being counterfeit. 12k worth of relics for our church verified as…read morefakes through our bishop

I love wandering through Hardware stores and this one near to Seward Small Boat Harbor is big (2…read morebig floors) and the kind that you might expect in this locale. If you're looking for fishing equipment, locally made knives (Big Beard Blades), mud boots, paint, and other community-specific hardware, this is your place and with extensive hours. In my role as a short time tourist, this place is better than a local gift shop. Gayle and I stopped in a few times, mostly for incidentals while trying to avoid home improvement items for back home. But wait, there's more! Seward Ship's Ace Hardware and Marine is just a short walk past the train station.

While preparing for my cruise leaving out of Seward Alaska I was told by one of the locals that Bay…read moreTraders was like the Walmart of Seward and when I had a chance to enter the store I soon found out why. Basically there are no hardware stores, clothing stores (unless you a looking for a souvenir t-shirt) or sporting goods stores in Seward Alaska. This store had everything and was enjoyable to visit. It even had a second floor. My wife ended up purchasing some rubber boots for the ice, which we later found out were like the National boots of Alaska, and I purchased a knit cap with the Bay Traders logo. This is definitely a store for both the local folk and the tourists. Great customer service.

This is an awesome little stop in Seward!

There are well-organized shelves, curated sections, and pretty cool "extras" you don't find in the average bookstore. The yarn section is neat and respectably stocked if you're into knocking out two shopping lists at once :-) There's also some art prints, and a few miscellaneous stickers, pins, etc. that we know some of our friends would find a perfect little gift. The chill overhead music and warm reading nook with chairs in the front make this a welcome stop if you're looking to get out of the cold breeze for a few minutes. We left with a new book and a strong inclination to drop back in again on our next Seward visit.

They sure did! This quaint bakery was a joy to visit from start to finish. The staff was super attentive and helpful with a smile. I was craving a nice, soft cookie, and they had SIX delicious gluten-free flavors to choose from: Red Velvet, Chocolate Chip, Double Chocolate Chip, Nutella, Matcha Macadamia, and Oatmeal Chocolate Chip. Talk about a happy surprise! So often, gluten-free options feel like an afterthought at bakeries, but not here. After much deliberation, I went with the Double Chocolate Chip and enjoyed it as soon as we got back to our hotel room. DEEEE-LISH!! It was incredibly soft, rich, and flavorful without being overly sweet. Exactly what I was hoping for! Thank you, SupaLuck's Bakery, for making this gluten-free traveler feel so welcome. I truly felt Supa-Lucky to have found your shop!

The bakery has such a cute, cozy vibe with plants and other fun little items for sale, making it a nice place to browse while you wait. I went the sweet route and can recommend the cookies and sticky bun, but they also have a great selection of savory options like the chicken curry bun and pizza bread. I also grabbed the overnight oats to bring with me on a boat tour, which was perfect for a quick breakfast on the go. They accept credit cards, but there's a discount if you pay with cash. Definitely worth stopping by while in Seward!
